Manich is a four-year-old girl and the only child in her family. Her father is a photographer and her mother is a wedding planner. When she is at home, Manich likes to play with dolls.
Two months ago, Manich developed a chalazion, or an inflamed cyst in the tear gland, in both eyes. It is difficult for her to see clearly, and she experiences burning, itchiness, irritation, and eye redness.
Manich’s family traveled for three and a half hours to seek treatment from our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC). On February 8th, surgeons at CSC will remove the cyst through a chalazion excision procedure. After recovery, Manich’s symptoms should improve. Now, she and her parents need help raising $187 to fund her procedure and care.
Manich’s mother shared, “I hope after surgery her eye heals and I don’t have to worry about her comfort and vision anymore.”

Manich underwent chalazion eye treatment to improve her vision.
Manich’s mother had hoped the cysts in her daughter’s eyes would disappear, but when they didn’t, she took her neighbor’s advice and brought her to our medical partner Children’s Surgical Centre for surgery. Manich was prepared for surgery and stayed close to her mother close before going in to the operating suite. All went well! Her redness and swelling have disappeared, Manich is more comfortable, and she looks forward to starting school soon.
Manich’s mother said: “I am so grateful for the help of the staff and people so that my daughter could have this surgery. She can grow up normally, look like other children, and we hope that she will not get any eye infections.”
